Description

Constant-temperature rolling ring amplification method based on dumbbell ring template
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nucleic acid amplification, and particularly relates to a constant-temperature rolling circle amplification method based on a dumbbell ring template.
Background
Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA) originated in the nineties of the last century, and was initially a linear rolling circle amplification method (LRCA) using a single primer for amplification, followed by the development of a hyper-branched rolling circle amplification method (HRCA) using a pair of primers, and amplification techniques such as PG-RCA, NRCA, etc., which incorporate nicking endonuclease based on HRCA. RCA has become one of the most commonly used isothermal amplification techniques developed to date, and its application fields relate to pharmacy, microbial detection, clinical medicine, etc. As an isothermal amplification technology, RCA is more advantageous than PCR in the aspects of batch detection and field detection, and has higher application value in the field of food, for example, food internal standards can be amplified through RCA, and a food traceability related detection technology can be established.
Compared with the LRCA technology, the HRCA amplification efficiency is faster, the sensitivity is higher, and the HRCA amplification method is widely applied to various detection technologies and the nano field. However, when amplification is carried out by the HRCA amplification method, non-specific amplification or complementary amplification products are likely to occur; non-specific amplification is easy to generate false positive results similar to rolling circle amplification, which brings great inconvenience to detection; however, the amplification products are complementary to each other, which makes it difficult for the primer to bind to the template for exponential amplification, resulting in a decrease in amplification efficiency. The above problems occur because the conventional HRCA uses a template which is generally a single loop with few secondary structures, and the single-stranded part of the amplification product is weak, and thus it is easy to bind to each other by winding to form a stable DNA double helix, occupying the primer binding site, making it difficult for the free primer to bind to the amplification product, thereby reducing the amplification efficiency.
Therefore, it is urgently needed to establish a more efficient hyper-branched rolling circle amplification method, which can avoid non-specific amplification and simultaneously ensure the amplification efficiency, and if the amplification product with stronger single-stranded rigidity and difficult combination and reserved primer binding sites can be obtained by changing the secondary structure of the template, the amplification efficiency of HRCA can be greatly improved.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problem that the existing HRCA amplification products are combined with each other to occupy primer binding sites, the invention provides a constant-temperature rolling circle amplification method based on a dumbbell ring template, which is a second-generation hyper-branched rolling circle amplification method, designs a novel dumbbell ring template, solves the problem of self product complementation during HRCA amplification by utilizing the dumbbell ring template, introduces a hairpin structure into the amplification template, and uses single strands of a ring area part for binding primers; the amplification product of the template forms a repeated stem-loop structure, and the primer binding site is reserved, so that the amplification efficiency of the template is ensured while non-specific amplification is avoided.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
the constant-temperature rolling ring amplification method based on the dumbbell ring template is characterized by comprising the following steps:
(1) preparing dumbbell-shaped circular DNA serving as a template, wherein the dumbbell-shaped circular DNA is integrally symmetrical, two ends of the dumbbell-shaped circular DNA are ring regions with the same size, and the middle of the dumbbell-shaped circular DNA is a completely complementary stem region;
(2) adding the template prepared in the step (1) into a reaction system to perform hyper-branched rolling circle amplification reaction, wherein an amplification product obtained by the reaction forms a secondary structure; the secondary structure formed by the amplification product reduces the possibility of combining with other complementary products, and reserves sites for primer combination, thereby realizing high-efficiency amplification.
The action principle and the process of the constant-temperature amplification method are as follows:
compared with the conventional HRCA, the design of the secondary structure can change the region for combining the primer into a smaller ring, so that the rigidity of the ring is enhanced, and certain obstruction is existed in the primer combination at the beginning of amplification;
after the first primer is combined, the secondary structure of the template is opened along with the amplification, and the template complementary sequence of tandem repeat is generated as the conventional amplification is started;
then, complementary parts also exist in the amplification products and can preferentially form self stem-loop structures, so that the probability of complementation with other amplification products is reduced;
the secondary structure formed by the self reserves sites for primer combination, and the amplified product always reserves the binding sites for the primers along with the progress of amplification, so that the exponential amplification continues to progress, and the aim of improving the reaction efficiency is fulfilled.
Furthermore, the length of the dumbbell-shaped circular DNA is 50-200 nt.
Furthermore, the length of the dumbbell-shaped circular DNA is 80-120 nt.
Short DNA chains have certain rigidity and are difficult to form circular DNA; longer DNA strands are prone to errors in synthesis. The length of the dumbbell circular DNA is 50-200 nt, and the preferable length is 80-120 nt. The DNA chain with the length of 80-120 nt can be accurately synthesized and easily cyclized, and a stable stem part and a single-chain ring part with strong rigidity can be designed, so that the method is suitable for the amplification template of the constant-temperature amplification method.
When amplification is carried out, the position of the primer can be designed at each part of the template, preferably a ring part; thereby enabling the primer to rapidly bind to the loop single strand for rolling circle amplification.
Further, the reaction system of step (2) comprises two DNA primers, a restriction enzyme and a DNA polymerase with strand displacement effect.
Further, the DNA polymerase is any one of phi 29DNA polymerase, Bst DNA polymerase and Vent (exo-) DNA polymerase; other DNA polymerases having a strand displacement action may be used as long as the DNA polymerase has a strand displacement action.
Further, the preparation method of the dumbbell circular DNA in the step (1) is a cyclization mode, and the cyclization mode comprises enzymatic ligation and chemical synthesis. The preparation of the dumbbell ring template is not limited to the two modes provided in the specification, and the dumbbell ring template can be used in the second-generation hyper-branched rolling ring amplification method as long as the dumbbell ring can be prepared.
Further, the step (1) further comprises the purification of the dumbbell circular DNA, wherein the purification step comprises but is not limited to the purification of the dumbbell circular DNA by Exo I and EXO III, gel cutting recovery and HPLC; here, purification enables removal of by-products, residual substrates, and the like generated during the cyclization process to purify and enrich the circular DNA.
Further, the concentration of the template is 10-3~1nM。
Further, the temperature range of the amplification method is the optimal temperature range of polymerase; the temperature range is more suitable for polymerase to exert activity and carry out high-efficiency amplification.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) according to the dumbbell ring template provided by the invention, a hairpin structure is introduced into the template, and a single strand of a ring region part is used for combining a primer; the amplification product of the template forms a repeated stem-loop structure, the obtained product has fewer single-chain parts and stronger rigidity, and is difficult to wind into double helix, thereby reducing the possibility of combining with other complementary products, reserving primer binding sites, and improving the amplification efficiency while avoiding non-specific amplification.
(2) The amplification method provided by the invention has simple operation steps, and can realize nucleic acid amplification reaction under the condition of constant temperature; the stem-loop part of the amplified product has a large number of single strands, so that more single-stranded DNA primers can be conveniently combined, and the rapid and efficient amplification of nucleic acid can be realized.

In FIG. 5C, Lane 1 is Ladder, and Lane 1-4 shows the second generation hyperbranched rolling circle amplification result of dumbbell circular template (T1-Loop25) at different concentrations of circular template; lanes 5-8 are traditional rolling circle amplification results at different concentrations of the circle template; as can be seen from FIG. 5C, the amplification product was detected only in the conventional circular template at a template concentration of 1nM (lane 5), and the amplification product was entirely in the gel well, indicating that the conventional rolling circle amplification did not perform exponential amplification or performed very little exponential amplification, and most of the time the linear amplification was still performed, so the product was longer and longer, and the migration rate was very low during electrophoresis, and was substantially retained in the gel well. While the dumbbell-shaped rolling circle amplification can detect the amplification product when the concentration of the template is from 1nM to 0.01nM (lanes 1-3), the product amount is gradually reduced along with the reduction of the template concentration, and meanwhile, dispersed product strips exist in the lanes, so that the dumbbell-shaped template can be inferred to carry out exponential amplification. Through comparison, the dumbbell ring template has more advantages than the template used by the conventional HRCA when HRCA is carried out, and the detection sensitivity can be improved by more than tens of times.

In conclusion, the invention has better universality, can be suitable for various secondary structure templates and does not reduce the amplification efficiency due to the change of DNA sequences.

2) Diluting the purified template to different concentrations, taking 1 mu L of the template and adding the template into an HRCA system, wherein the system also comprises: primers 5. mu.M each, phi 29DNA polymerase 3U, phi 29DNA polymerase buffer 1 × (50mM Tris-HCl, 10mM MgCl)2,10mM(NH4)2SO44mM DTT, pH 7.5@25 ℃), BSA 200. mu.g/mL, dNTPs 0.2mM, deionized water to make up to 10. mu.L. Reacting at 35 ℃ for 4 h.
3) Respectively carrying out enzyme digestion on the amplification product by MboI and AciI, carrying out 1% agarose Gel electrophoresis analysis, setting the electrophoresis at 100V, carrying out electrophoresis time for 1h, observing the electrophoresis result by Gel Red staining, and carrying out quantitative analysis on the product according to the strip brightness by Image Lab software. In FIG. 7, the MboI cleavage result is relatively thorough, there is substantially no longer band, and the cleavage products are distributed around 50 bp; the enzyme cutting result of AciI shows a step-shaped band from top to bottom, and a small amount of large-fragment DNA bands also exist in the channel opening. Since the restriction enzyme site of MboI is at the stem of the template (FIG. 7A), the hairpin structure formed by either the amplified double-stranded or single-stranded product itself can be cut, while the RCA amplification product is a double-stranded product complementary or identical to the template, and therefore, there should be one restriction enzyme site every 50bp, which is consistent with the representation of the restriction enzyme product on the electrophoresis chart. The enzyme cutting site of aciI is in a loop region (figure 7B), only a loop part forms a double chain through amplification, the enzyme cutting can be carried out, even if a hairpin structure is formed by a single-chain product, the loop part region is still single-chain and can not be subjected to enzyme cutting, and the products after enzyme cutting often have tandem hairpin structures with different lengths.
In addition, since the loop region of the hairpin cannot be cleaved by enzyme, it can be shown that even if the hairpin structures of the amplification product are completely complementary to each other, the loop region thereof hardly forms a double-stranded structure, and the feasibility of the present study was laterally demonstrated. The above results can determine that the amplification reaction is performed according to the expected design, the reaction product forms a serial hairpin structure according to the experimental design, and more serial hairpins still exist after the reaction is finished.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be taken as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like made within the scope of the present invention should be included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
